Out of the shadows, Gnomon chuckles and whispers "... yeah, you could turn into me!"
She'll purposefully step well to the side as to not step on the glyph, and peer into room 5b from multiple angles, trying to get an idea what's in the small room.
Here marks the perpendicular intersection of two corridors, one cut short by dead ends. Beyond an archway to the southwest is a stone statue of a 6-foot-tall skeletal figure with butterfly wings sprouting from its back and sharp bone spurs on its forearms and elbows. The statue stands atop a 3-foot-high stone base. The statue clutches a stone wand and points it toward the floor. On the floor is another glyph that you saw earlier.
Gnomon pops out of the shadows long enough to point out the additional glyph on the floor, before popping back into her usual hidey-hidey (Stealth: 21). She continues to slowly and silently creep towards area 7.
Chronolo's Detect Magic resumes as glyphs of its own materialize in the form of faint outlines of haywire machinery that scans the surrounding. Robotic feelings somewhat torn between protecting the other party members and its own amount of self-preservation, Chronolo follows Gnomon towards Area 7, choosing not to make any attempts at stealth.
Set into an alcove at the back of this dusty side chamber is a nonmagical, life-size statue of Halaster Blackcloak carved from granite. The statue is thrusting its stone staff outward in a threatening manner, its visage sculpted with a look of wild abandon. Its robe is engraved with hundreds of lidless eyes. The statue stands atop a 1-foot-thick granite disk.
Tor wrinkles his nose, squinting. “There was a time I could count the feathers on an eagle’s arse. Those days are over, unless I happen across a dead one.”
One of the eyes carved into Halaster’s robe is a button. Pressing this button causes two keys tucked under Halaster’s robes to clatter onto the floor around the statue’s base. Each key is a flat, 6-inch-long piece of mithral worked into a curious shape. The first key is shaped like an F, the second like a V with a small loop at the bottom.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gnomon chuckles again from the shadows..."V for Very and F for F*****....very apropos."
She'll then tip-toe across the hall and listen in through the door on the right (Perception: 13). If hearing nothing, she'll open the door a quietly as she can.

5B has a flat ceiling 15 feet high. The room is otherwise empty.
Caim mutters, "It appears empty ahead. Back the other way?"

Chronolo needs to service its visors. Blood wasn't very good on high-tech sensors...
Gnomon simply stands back in the shadows, nodding her head sagely as if pondering the weight of the world (Perception: 14).

Alexa presses the button unhesitatingly, catching the keys. "Hmmm. I suppose we will find out what these go to sooner or later."
